Pak admits Saeed’s links to militancy

ISLAMABAD, Feb 18:
Mumbai attack mastermind and JuD chief Hafiz Saeed, who is under house arrest, has now been listed under Pakistan’s anti-terrorism act, a tacit acknowledgement of his links to militancy.
Dawn News reported that the Punjab Government has included names of Saeed and one of his close aides, Qazi Kashif, in the fourth schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA).
Three other men were also added to the list — Abdullah Obaid from Faisalabad,  Zafar Iqbal and Abdur Rehman Abid from the Markaz-i-Taiba, Muridke.
Saeed and the four men added to the fourth schedule of the ATA were also placed under house arrest on January 30 in Lahore amid an angry uproar from his party and political allies.
The five men were identified by the Interior Ministry as “active members of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Falah-i- Insaniyat (FIF),” the report said.(PTI)
